In a novel, four friends living in this country read the suicidal student Lola’s diary and are interrogated by the Captain. A poet from this country named Oskar Pastior inspired a novel originally titled for a “swinging breath” in which a closeted gay teen trades books such as Faust for supplies. This country, the primary setting of The Land of Green Plums, is the birthplace of a character who shovels coal after being deported to a Soviet labor camp, Leo Auberg. This country’s ethnic German minority is central to Herta Müller’s novel The Hunger Angel. An author born in this country wrote a play in which Jean (“zhawn”) claims that “humanism is dead!” after his skin turns green and Bérenger (“bay-ron-JAY”) watches the other characters turn into the title animals. For 10 points, name this country, the birthplace of Eugene Ionesco. ■END■
